Anybody know the best way to get the username without win32all
installed?

Mark: I don't have a win9x box, but try replacing that
os.environ['USERNAME'] with getpass.getuser().  You'll need to stick
an import getpass in there too, of course.  Let me know if that works.

The rest of the code should work OK on win9x.
